Abstract

For the European Union, Turkey’s full membership constitutes the basis of many heated arguments and has become a topic that is continually deferred to a later date. Perhaps the most frequently repeated reason given for the stand against Turkey’s accession by both the leading elite of the Union and member states, and the EU community, is that Turkey’s socio-cultural status significantly differs from that of the EU. This reasoning is also fed by a historical background that made Turks the most noteworthy Other for Europe for centuries. The present study attempts to show that cultural differences resulting especially from religion and the role Turkey has played as the most important historical Other, in fact constitute a principal point that the EU needs to take into account in terms of accepting Turkey’s membership bid. This is actually necessary if the EU is to reach its ideal of building a fully political union founded on a democratic and pluralistic framework

Abstract

Türkiye’nin tam üyeliği, Avrupa Birliği açısından en hararetli tartışmaların yaşandığı ve devamlı sürüncemede tutulan bir konu niteliğindedir. Gerek Birliğin ve üye ülkelerin yönetici elitleri açısından gerekse AB toplumu açısından Türkiye’nin üyeliğine karşı oluşun belki de en sık tekrarlanan gerekçesi Türkiye’nin sosyo-kültürel anlamda AB’den oldukça farklı bir konumda bulunmasıdır. Söz konusu gerekçe, Türkleri asırlarca Avrupa’nın en önemli Ötekisi yapan tarihsel bir arka planla da beslenmektedir. Bu çalışmanın ortaya koymaya çalıştığı husus, özellikle dinden kaynaklanan kültürel farklılıklarının ve en önemli tarihsel Ötekisi rolünün bulunmasının aslında Türkiye’yi üyeliğe kabul etme açısından, AB’nin dikkate alması gereken en önemli unsur olduğudur. Hatta Birliğin demokratik ve çoğulcu bir çerçevede tam anlamıyla siyasi bir birlik oluşturması yönündeki idealine ulaşabilmesi için bu zorunludur
